  1. It is given that complex numbers \({{z}_{1}}\) and \({{z}_{2}}\) are the roots of the equation \({{z}^{2}}-6z+36=0\) such that \(\arg ({{z}_{1}})>\arg ({{z}_{2}})\). Find exact expressions of \({{z}_{1}}\) and \({{z}_{2}}\) in the form \(r{{\mathrm{e}}^{\mathrm{i}\theta }}\), where \(r>0\) and \(-\pi <\theta \le \pi \).[4]
  2. Find the complex number \(\frac{{{z}_{1}}^{4}}{\mathrm{i}{{z}_{2}}}\) in exact polar form.[3]

Find the smallest positive integer \(n\) such that \({{z}_{2}}^{n}\) is a positive real number.[2]
